The late Queen was famous for having a dry sense of humour and quick wit, but what many people might not know is quite how cheeky she could be when she was a child too. Nowadays her great-grandson Prince Louis arguably holds the title of 'cheekiest royal', yet a new biography has detailed the mischievous Queen Elizabeth creating a "disco" with the lights.
Writing in The Queen: 100 Years, 100 Stories, Michelle Morgan recalls that the then-Princess cheekiness was "perhaps the most entertaining" of her personality traits "for the press and public at least". She mentions a moment featured in Anne Ring's official book about Elizabeth, where she "took it upon herself" to mess around with the lights and told off her own mother!
